Mortality, movement and behaviour of native mussels during a planned water‐level drawdown in the Upper Mississippi River
Abstract
Managers in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) are using reductions in the River's water levels during summer to mimic historical water regimes and rehabilitate habitats for vegetation and other species. Concerns for the unintended effects of these actions on mussel populations threatened to halt these projects.
